Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cementing the New Jersey outfit as masters of extreme sorrow, 'Quietus' is an overwhelming exercise in funereal doom. The album features agonizingly slow, crushing riffs, guttural death growls, and mournful keyboard textures that combine to craft a suffocating atmosphere of pure, inescapable despair.
